And what are you doing as your part to help Ghana? Avuukoklo!
Nonsense. His refusal to use an SUV is a message to other govt departments abiut his intentions to be frugal with the nation's money. If the finance minister is happy to use a camry how dare his subordinates demand SUVs. That ...

Araba. I don't get your comment. Do you have a problem with the man been reasonable and wanting to help mother Ghana. Why will you not give him fuel because he chose a lesser car. Should I assume your knowledge of cars is lim ...

Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. His request to maintain his official bungalow is a ploy to court public sympathy. He is creating the impression that he did ...

Did you write
"to say the road is bad"
It should read, to ameliorate the discomfort of driving on neglected roads in the Eastern Region.
How about that to describe the deplorable roads in the Eastern Region
change going nowhere
Zoobie I'm surprised at you, I don't think you are on your rightful mind... the only sense you can talk is someone is a fool. Don't you think we need to encourage this for Ministers to use less resources? So now who is a FOOL ...

Yes he did that to fool NDC fool soldiers like you.
You guys will never get wise.
Ken is a patriot unlike your Mahama who wants to steal veep bungalow.
Sour losers.
Good move
OUR EYES ARE WIDE OPEN
WHO CARES? HE SHOULD NOT EVEN TALK THE CAMRY AT ALL.
Good people of Ghana are talking here. Avuuu!

Even nincompoops like Kofi Adams and all the NDC whores were using crossovers, SUVs and V8s. They copied Cuba in many ways but failed to copy the types of cars Cuban revolutionary ministers use. I saw one (I was there) using ...

Another ignorant one called Odikro,"SUVs and V8s"don't you know that all V8 cars are SUVs,do you think V8 is a name of a car,do you know that some of the Camrys can be more expensive than some SUVs?
There is nothing wrong ...

Obviously, you are the ignorant one. NOT all V8 cars are SUV's. There are many sedans that are V8 as well. e.g. the Porsche Panamera Turbo S,some variants of Mercedes Benz,e.t.c. V8 only refers to the engine and not the type ...

Get lost,Porsche cars are sport cars,SUV simply means Sports Utility Vehicle.
I know V8 is just the engine and I'm not saying that because I see people drive it, I have it myself, so get lost once again, I didn't compare Cam ...

This is what Ghana and Africa needs and not the show off.This is very kind of you putting the poor at heart,may God grant you the promises that go with it unto your party too for your modesty and decipline.
He wants us to look the other way so that they can loot the state. We are watching you people
It is good to use less economic vehicle but please consider your safety and where salon car could go. Your life is precious so don't be too economical Mr Ofori Atta.
diversion of workers pension money to Databank
At least they will get fat interest on them
MORE OF THOSE-ITS JUST UNIMAGINABLE HOW A POOR COUNTRY LIKE OURS COULD BUY EXPENSIVE V8 LANDCRUISERS/PATROLS FOR ALL SENIOR PUPLIC OFFICE HOLDERS???
Has he paid the 2 million dollar loan taken from Prudential bank?
I hope the rest will follow suit
Pa.....what?
Shame NDC
May Allah bless this man. Hope others will make a similar move. This is true service to the nation
THIS MAN, THE FINANCE MINISTER DESIGNATE, MUST DEFINITELY HAVE PLENTY OF SUVS OF HIS OWN IF WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS ANYTHING TO GO BY AND YET, HE DIDN'T SAY HE IS ACCUSTOMED AND USED TO DRIVING IN BIG CARS SO HE WILL INSIST ...

ALL MINISTERS SHOULD USE TOYOTA CAMRY.
Unfortunate and immature statement from Gabby Asare. Tell us how npp will fulfill his numerous promises not what type of cars your ministers will use.
A PRACTICE SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE EFFECT THAT ALL MINISTERS USE TOYOTA CAMRY.
He should reject his salary as Mr. Dofour did during president Attah Mills time.
Ken is a very great man..and am sure He wouldnt have put this out by himself..had it not been done by Gabby. KEn is humble chap...
Are you sure? Do you really know him or you are just presuming because he is soft spoken
Yeah Komla,you have a point. I've lived in Australia for almost twenty years now and one of my best friends used to work with him in Data Bank in those days and he speaks so highly of Ken. Good name truly they say is better t ...

I Hope he will never use a V8 since he want to save Ghana and all those who will be appointed by Akufo Addo will use Toyota Camry.
We are Watching.
The Toyota Camry is of various capacities. We have the v4, v6, and v8. The v4 being the commonest. President Mahama used a Camry so Ofori Atta's gesture is nothing new. What we need to do is to Check the capacity. You may fin ...

What is the big deal about this. Some salon car engines are bigger than SUVs , moreover there are ppl who naturally don't like SUVs
How much is this Toyota Camry? Populism aaa kwa
To be more prudent why don't he reject the state car and use his own one? Gabby this is no news. Is the state going to buy a new car of his choice instead of using what was being used by ex finance minister and is this not ex ...

Okofo thanks for pointing out the obvious. To me this is just a red herring and cheap politics. Some SUVs have only 2.5 litre engines. My Audi A4 also has a 2.5 litre V6 turbo-charged engine. This luxury Toyota Camry is likel ...

Most camry in Ghana is 2.4 L v4 in the us u can get a camry which is v6 3.5L.That is theaximum you can get.
Cammon! Let's stop the politics and give praise when it's due. Let's be realistic here and face fact. Tell me which of the 4×4 V8 cars used by the ministers of the previous government had an engine capacity less than that of ...

Msteeeew, some didnt recieve salaries and also used thier own cars, yet we didnt see foko, is not about displaying populist gestures, but your ability to manage the economy that matters
Hypocrisy of all time. Dump it in public and go for it under the dark
stop this nonsense, let's see your action and stop all this stupid tweets
ITS A POPULIST ACTION
This is a very bold and good step taken.
an indication of fiscal discipline.
It's my wish other Ministers toe similar lines.
This sounds good on the ears. Politically & economically, it's a wise decision. However, I want to find out if he has been offered any official vehicle for him to reject since he has just been nominated? Oh, well I forgot we ...

I will have.gone.in for an e class or 5 series.I think that car is a toyota avalon
Why not accepting a bicycle which could help to save the economy instead. My twenty -two years old daughter drives an SUV which is v8. Who are you trying to fool? What a shameful move? It's not a smart idea.
This is another front,you better rides bycile, you people are not fooling any body, hypocrisy at best, shame
Walking is better for his health.And who care is he even walk naked on the street! Foolish man!!!
If true, this one move, though not especially significant, is better than giving out gifts of cars and houses to individuals at a time the nation is embroiled in economic hardship! It will only take on a measure of significan ...

What is this show-off? Advise his to walk then. that is when we'll believe he is on our side and doing what we expect of him.
Who proposed the SUV to him? was it President Mahama again or president Akufo Addo? What about the other Npp members who might have accepted it? Ghana
ians can forget their political change, not today not tomorrow.
Why has the npp all of a sudden become self centered errrh.It beats my imagination.Were you not in power from 2000 to 2008,so during that period,which cars were you people using?
So he saved Ghana money or what? This is bull nonetheless...

The SUV is to protect your own life in terms of speed and rough roads. Think before rejecting something protective just to get public applause.
Good move...but use the SUV when you're traveling outside Accra (for meetings, conferences, etc)...see what I mean?
This is total nonsense. He is not yet given the nord. What makes him think he will be given? This is garbage from Gabby.
Who cares about this he can even drive an aboboyaaa I don't care. Reduction in corporate taxes, utility bills, fuel are my topmost priority
I don't think is good for us to insult one another
NPP 419
Dr Kwabena Duffour didn't use state vehicle and didn't receive any salary when he was the finance minister so Gabby shd.give us a break.
Hypocrisy, fake dude, tell Ghanaian you take okada instead, ,you can't fool Ghana,shame on you,
Frugality in governance in Ghana will bring patriotism in Ghanaians
Not good enough. All ministers and mps should use their own cars with slight increases in their salaries to compensate for transportation. They are called to serve the people and not the other way around. That may also cause ...

He made enough money off Sahara oil etc in the previous npp govt.
Who cares, why not ride a camel, to save us fuel
Please this is no news. Dr Kwabena Duffour served for four years without taking salary from government under NDC.
who buys fuel when a church send you?
